The AFL season is drawing to a close but your Cadbury AFL 9s season is just about to begin with competitions kicking off from October 9 across Australia.
Cadbury AFL 9s is the Australian Football League’s fun, fast and exciting alternative version of the game.
It’s a great way to have fun with your friends playing a modified version of the traditional game in mixed, men’s or women’s competitions.
It’s a little bit different to the traditional game.
Some of the key differences with AFL 9s include:
- It’s 9 a side on a smaller field with three zones
- Players must start in their zones but can then run anywhere
- Forwards are the only players permitted to score but players rotate between positions throughout the game
- In mixed competitions males score 6 points for a goal whereas females score 9 points
- There is no tackling, it’s ‘touch football’.
- A mark is awarded irrespective of the distance the ball has travelled.
- If the ball hits the ground it is an automatic turnover.
Most Cadbury AFL 9s Spring competitions kick off in early October so rustle up some mates and come play!
